Grandview police said they started following the driver of a red 2003 Dodge Stratus on the West Access road south of Blue Ridge Boulevard about 4:30 p.m. Police said the driver took the southbound ramp onto Interstate 49 and started driving faster than 100 mph.

Police said the car exited the highway at 140th Street, sped down the access road and ran a red light, when the officer stopped chasing it.

The car was later spotted abandoned and still rolling along the access road. Police said they found a 2-year-old boy inside who was not in a car seat.

Kansas City and Grandview police searched the area near the road. They said they found the 23-year-old driver hiding in a nearby creek. He was taken to a hospital for treatment of hypothermia. Police have not released his name.

Investigators said the boy, who they later identified as the driver's son, was placed in the custody of the Division of Family Services. A child endangerment investigation is under way, police said.
